Keynote Speakers Announced
Work Smarter Together is delighted to announce our keynote speakers for March 2023
This March 23, the theme of WST 23 is ‘Celebrating Us’. The people of UCD are the vital core of UCD, driving our ongoing success as an organisation. Without the initiative, ingenuity and perseverance of individuals and units to deliver the high level services we offer to students, colleagues and globally, UCD simply wouldn’t be the success story it is today. Without people, there is no UCD. This year we want to celebrate that success by providing a day of speakers, panels & presentations that celebrate that success.
We are thrilled to have found keynote speakers who reflect this innovation and ingenuity and the theme of celebration of pursuing and reflecting on success in its many forms.

The WST tradition
Work Smarter Together, as an expression of the great things which go on within the UCD community, is all about celebrating and supporting the collaboration and creativity that help make UCD a great place to work, to teach, to research, to study. We offer our colleagues the opportunity to share their discoveries and experiences through a series of events and newsletters. If there’s something you’d like to tell us about or a topic you’re interested in get in touch. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
In 2022, we are looking at the way we work now we are returning to some sembelance of normal. Colleagues are working remote, on campus and hybrid. There’s a lot going on. We have been collecting stories about software, systems, collaboration, online communities and the stories from coming back to campus.
